FGX-351 · 12-10-2005, 06:41 PM

**Falcon Coupe** · 12-10-2005, 06:48 PM

Hmmm, FPR plates with a 4 litre engine ?
You can get a real T series for that price.
Tell him he's dreaming.

efbeggza · 12-10-2005, 06:51 PM

Oh neons..

Chop about 7-10k off that.. then yeah

mmm, mudflaps!

The Mighty Red · 12-10-2005, 06:56 PM

you can get the real thing for close to what he is asking

efbeggza · 12-10-2005, 06:59 PM

Saw one of those exactly the same (without engine mods) in a Geelong car yard for 16k I think..

Racecraft · 12-10-2005, 07:30 PM

there is a car yard in Brisbane that specialises in the AU and BA kitted up Fortes and XT's

He seems to have a good turnaround in stock so someone must be buying them

29k GTXT

or

AU Cobra

....

Is this guy for real. An SR with a body kit for $25,000. Dan Struggled to sell his Turbo Au XR6 with all the good stuff for $25,000. This guy is trying to sell his car for $25,000. I think he spends too much time with his hand down his pants.

TCK-098 · 12-10-2005, 08:01 PM

Yeah $25000 i dont think so atm City ford at chullora have a Au pursuit with brembos for $29000

: anyways im looking at the stripes to go onto my fairmont cant bloody wait as the signwriters been flat out the last month.

Bucknaked · 12-10-2005, 08:02 PM

I'm thinking of going the way of cobra stripes on my AU. I think silver or white stripes over the body should look great. Well I guess its a personal preference really. But something like the AU pictured above.

micksta · 12-10-2005, 08:16 PM

looks good .. cept i wouldn't have the stripes on a T series ..

wheels look sh*t!!!!!! ... wheels arcs are way too big to look decent.

no one wants neons on a hot performance car.

not to mention its a 6 cyl ... so if ppl drag it .. there gonna think there beating a T3. which i hate to see/hear about.

not to mention u could buy an au .. whack that whole kit on it .. for under that price tag.

load of crap .. and my 2c :P

micksta · 12-10-2005, 08:19 PM

what about red stripes bucknaked ??

maybe someone could do a photochop of it

either that .. or silver.

theres another AU floating around with white cobra like stripes.

I think I tried once before, but no-on was real keen on do me aphotoshops.

Red i'm not so sure about. Either white or silver

sickxr · 12-10-2005, 08:28 PM

great Idea!!
I have always thought Cobra stripes offset to the left hand side would look great on an AU XR6, silver or white over the dark blue of mine would look good I think

micksta · 12-10-2005, 08:38 PM

yeah i don't think anything would match a decent colour scheme like black and white or black and silver.

Gosh I how I wish they never made copies of the T3 bodykit. It has cheapened the T3's to the point of no return. Here's hoping no one never, ever, EVVEEER!!.. makes a copy of the T1 and T2 bodykits, still the best looking AU's IMO.

Mike Gayner · 13-10-2005, 07:46 AM

That car looks pretty slick, but the neons and clear tail lights ruin it for me. Shame it's only a 4ltr.

Woz · 13-10-2005, 08:04 AM

Bucky, if you're gonna go Cobra stripes, they've gotta be fat. None of this pinstripe sh1t.

**Full Noise** · 13-10-2005, 08:05 AM

AAAHHHHHH.
Please tell me that isn’t an FPV badge on the guard.

Cheers, Danny

F6T · 13-10-2005, 08:33 AM

Bucky,

I've done a photoshop job on my brother's black AU XR8 with the 2 red thick stripes over the bonnet and then another experiment with them on the sides. Red on black looked like crud. White or Silver would definitely be the go.

philstoj · 13-10-2005, 10:09 AM

Leave the stripes for the BA's, and the hyundai's..lol

FASTXR · 13-10-2005, 01:33 PM

Glad to see he's had his plates signed by three drivers, two of whom's names he can't spell properly!

go for it bucky, silver stripes would look sweet on black- even a gunmetal metallic would look bloody awesome....

If you still have the pics, I'd love see how it turned out. Red and black is my favourite footy team colours.

If you could email it to me, that would be great. dwaynewoodhouse@ozemail.com.au

Thanks

I love the look of the stripes on your car. I just think cobra stripes add a little extra something to the look of a car. Especially the AU's

Might be time to get stuck into a photoshop or 2.

I've seen about 5 AU's now with the cobra stripes now.

**FTE217** · 13-10-2005, 10:23 PM

go on Buck you know you want to.....
